New York Giants fill Burress' roster spot with a DT

12:07 p.m. UPDATE Travonti Johnson has been signed. He was on the practice field today. The team will announce his signing later.

Plaxico Burress' roster spot has already been filled.

The Giants signed DT Leger Douzable off their own practice squad. The 6-4, 305-pound Douzable was an undrafted free agent with the Vikings this season and was cut at the end of training camp. The Giants signed him to their practice squad in September.

The Giants also announced OT Na'Shan Goddard has been signed off their practice squad by the Seahawks. Former Rutgers OL Mike Fladell and WR Micah Rucker (Eastern Illinois) were signed. That still leaves a practice squad spot open because the team signed DT Jeremy Clark off its practice squad on Saturday. I was told they had signed CB Travonti Johnson, but I'm not sure why that wasn't announced. I'll check to see what's going on there.

Douzable and Clark now give the Giants five DTs on the roster. That's a lot, considering they only play one on passing downs. Clark was needed because DT Fred Robbins missed Sunday's game with a shoulder injury. Robbins, who's listed on the pre-practice injury report, said he will be able to play against the Eagles.
